Its caused by the climate control unit, usually from the contacts being worn or dirty. If you move the sliders back and forth a few times it may scrub the contacts clean enough for the noise to stop. Mine clicked when I first got it, after moving them back and forth a few times cleared up the problem. In my case the contacts were only dirty but if your car has higher mileage the contacts may be worn down.
If I remember correctly the climate control head unit is pretty pricey should it need to be replaced. I would hope some good used ones are available though.

It sounds like someone send morris code messages from under the dash? Mine does this as well and my A/C still isn't working.
